A meticulously crafted Stratocaster evoking classic Fender tone and vintage vibe.
The Fender Custom Shop '66 Stratocaster Deluxe Closet Classic is a meticulous homage to the iconic electric guitars of the 1960s. Handcrafted with a blend of vintage-spec'd components and modern refinements, it authentically evokes the look, feel and legendary tone that made the Stratocaster a cultural icon. Whether you're a discerning collector or a guitarist seeking classic Fender vibe, this instrument will inspire you.
Vintage-Inspired Tonewoods and Construction
The foundation of this Closet Classic's vintage-approved tone starts with a select 2-piece alder body. Alder's balanced resonance and harmonically rich overtones give the Strat its unmistakable chime. The quartersawn maple neck provides clarity and sustain, while the round-laminated rosewood fingerboard offers warmth and articulation. With its '60s-era medium-jumbo frets, bone nut and 25.5" scale length, you'll enjoy effortless playability across the entire neck.
Custom Shop Hand-Wound '65 Single-Coil Pickups
Meticulously crafted by Fender's elite builders, the hand-wound '65 single-coil pickups are a revelation. The vintage-spec'd Formvar wire and Alnico V magnets authentically reproduce every nuance of the coveted '65 Strat tones. You'll experience glassy, articulate highs, focused mids and tight lows that sing with character. Dial in iconic quack, bite or warmth by adjusting the 5-way blade pickup selector. The pickups' balanced output ensures each position maintains its distinct voice.
Classic 6-Saddle Synchronized Tremolo Bridge
Expressive vibrato is a defining trait of the Stratocaster and this Custom Shop model delivers. Its 6-saddle synchronized tremolo is engineered for smooth travel and precise intonation across the strings. Subtly warble chords or unleash dramatic cascades of pitch-bending—the tremolo responds with fluid, musical precision. Combined with the alder body's resonance, the bridge creates lush waves of shimmering sustain perfect for surf tones or ambient textures.
Deluxe Appointments for Timeless Fender Style
Every detail has been considered to ensure this Closet Classic captures the magic of a vintage Stratocaster. The 3-ply parchment pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines and nickel/chrome hardware transport you to a bygone era. Fender even includes premium accessories like a deluxe hardshell case to protect your investment. With its gorgeous nitrocellulose lacquer finish, this Strat looks just as alluring as it sounds.
